I have lived down Francois Lake Road for over 12 yrs now and I feel that the intersection at Hwy 16 and Francois Lake Road is very dangerous, especially in the winter. I would like to petition that changes be made to this intersection before someone's life is taken too soon. Please help me make my voice heard.

Reaching this level of support confirms that my neighbors share the same deep concerns about the safety of this intersection. It is heartening to see our community align on the necessity of improving this stretch of road before a preventable tragedy occurs.

Little good a turning lane does when the lines are usually obliterated. At least when the lines are showing I can say that I was in the turning lane when the semi hit me. Though the road has a nice wide shoulder east bound lane, more often than not, their trailers cross the yellow line.
I refused to drive with my infant twins because this intersection is so sketchy. Almost got hit head on by a semi that doesn't believe in TURNING LANES. I was stopped in the marked turning lane waiting for him to pass
I turn there everyday with my 4 children. Not only you have to worry about the people behind you when you slow down and turn, you have to worry about the vehicles coming around the corner and the vehicles coming off Francois lake road onto the highway. Very dangerous in the winter
I cross this intersection daily to get home & every day I look from away watching to see if anyone is coming & if they are staying on their side of the road also while watching the rearview mirror to see if anyone is behind me in case I can't move over as someone is in my turning lane. Some days this is absolutely terrifying especially with my 4 year old in the back seat. With such huge increase in industrial traffic & large trucks on our hwy, its home to make this intersection safe. It is 100% not!!! Even when you can see the yellow lines vehicles still hog the corner & more often that not are in your lane!! Please, please make this a safer intersection!
Even though this corner is posted 70kms, people fly by 100kms. If it's clear, I have just enough time to get going safely when someones coming at me 100kms
Absolutely agree. That intersection is terrifying. Something should have been done years ago
Very dangerous corner ‘ not only turning onto francious lake road but as well as turning on to the highway especially at night and the icy road conditions add to the road safety conditions! I would say quite dangerous ‘

We have lost family members at the particular turn off so having a turn lane would be very helpful and a lot safer for everyone that needs to turn at that blind corner
